Rhodes Maritsa was used as a holiday charter airport until 1977 when Paradiso Diagoras Airport opened nearer the sea away from the mountains.
The airport was built in 1938 during the Italian occupation of the Dodecanese Islands as a base for the Regia Aeronautica and was called Aeroporto di Martisa.
It housed a squadron of Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 and a squadron of Fiat CR.32 biplane fighters. In 1940, during World War II, it was bombed by the British Royal Air Force but stayed under Italian control until the Dodecanese Campaign, when it fell under German control until the liberation of the Islands.
After the war, it became the main airport for the island until 1977, when the new Rhodes International Airport was opened.
You can still see it today when flying in on approach to RHO so not quite vanished.
